- Valuable hotel in Lyon near the tourist area and good connection to the train station or airport. Lyon has new airport tram and it will bring you to the central station and you still need to take a tram T1 to the hotel. If you buy a tram ticket on the airport tram it's easier and cheaper.
No safe and no mini bar -1 point! but, downstairs bar sells water. WIFI free but, computer with internet use at the reception costs money. -1 point! Bath tub but no shower curtain so water is everywhere after each shower. Big bathroom and Big window which face to the back side and very airy. Bar is bit pricey and supermarket available not very far from the hotel. Bakery called PAUL available at the station and it's excellent!
Hotels in Lyon are little bit expensive what we didn't expected so it's recommended valuable range but, nothing special like best western general. :-) « less

- The Hotel Charlemagne is within walking distance of the Saône river (5 min - cruise pier), Perrache train station (5 min - not really the main train station in Lyon, but still important), Place Bellecour (15 min - Tourist Office, Departure point for Le Grand Tour hop-on, hop-off bus located), and Vieux Lyon (20 min - Fourvière funicular that takes you up to N.D. de Fourvière cathedral). While the hotel is very well situated with respect to the tourist sites, the neighbourhood itself is a little seedy at night, especially if you are coming back very late and going through the Perrache station walkway (even though there is security personnel standing guard.) With respect to the hotel itself, it lives up to what one expects of the Best Western chain. Rooms are of a good size, clean, and well ventilated. The reception staff is very welcoming and are clearly intent on making your stay a seamless one. The only reproach, and it is a minor one, is the elevator - extremely tiny. Another piece of advice with respect to price...you can definitely get this hotel for 45% - 50% cheaper than the standard price. I paid only 52 euros/night (no breakfast) because I booked it through the SNCF website (at the same time I booked my train): www.voyages-sncf.com « less

- Spend 2 nights in this BW hotel with my husband. We made reservations for a superior double room. The room itself was very good; clean and quit modern. The bathroom was rather simple in comparison with the room.
The hotel needs a complete make-over though. It is dated, it feels like you've gone back to the 50's... (pastel colours, carpet on the walls)
The staff is very friendly and is happy to help you find your way in Lyon.
Breakfast is ok, but should be better for a hotel in France. Fresh croissants for example!
If you're looking for a cheaper hotel in Lyon, this will do just fine. « less

- This is a good hotel close to Lyon Perrache train station. Staff are helpful and friendly. The only negative in terms of its location is that there are not many restaurants around and so you have to walk through the train station to get to the other restaurants which are further away. There are no other routes to get to these restaurants - only through the train station or the tunnels. This is fine during the day but during the night there are unsavoury characters around and it doesn't feel all that safe. « less
